There is nothing more sickening and disturbing than when people try to equate Christian extremists to Muslim extremists. You're comparing a dangerous lion in the wild to a feral cat. There is no evidence that Christian extremists are seeking to conquer and exterminate people of opposing religious faiths. There is no evidence that Christian extremists are carrying out deadly bombings and hijackings to further their goals. Are there people within Christianity who have to be reined in from using government to advance their cause? Yes. Does that threat in any way approach Muslim extremism? Absolutely not.

MaryCatherine....do you support going after Christian extremists with the vigor that you propose go after the Muslim extemists. The extremists of any religion present a danger to us but in Indianapolis right now, there are many more of the Christian variety than the Muslim variety. What say you, Mary Catherine???

I can appreciate the consistency that Ms. Barton is seeking in not allowing Muslim special treatment domestically, if we're going to be intervening regarding extemists of the same religion in countries overseas. I also believe as dire as our economics are, if we can't get allies willing to pony-up enough time, money, and (frankly) blood similar to the sacrifice we're making, then we need to withdraw.

Theres's such a thing as a bridge too far. We wouldn't dream of trying to chase bad guys in Russia or China presently- even if it weren't imperialistic, it would be logistical madness because we don't have the resources. With 10% unemployment, trillions in debt and deficit, and federal expansion and spending unabated, we don't have the luxury of trying to tame Afghanistan. We have to protect our own borders for both safety and economics.

I think the Muslim treatment of women, intolerance of other religions, and paricularly bombing of civilians is inexcusable. If you want to say that Western
civilization devalues the parenting of children, is oversexed, under"moraled", materialistic, corrupt, and semi-imperialistic- there's not much to disagree with. I support TWO countries in the middle east- one for Jews and one for Palestinians- and they work it out from there.

However, I only know of ONE religion where it's extremists (not everyday peacable Muslims) consider it legitimate to protest by bombing innocent civilians: New York, Texas, Scotland, Indonesia, Spain, and other global locations within appoximately the past decade. Timothy McVeigh was an exception to this pattern- but name me another one of his magnitude that wasn't an Islamic extremist.

Shella's one-sided coverage of Carson and Islam is atrocious. I'm ashamed he's suppossed to represent "even-handed" moderation in local public television broadcasts.

Get your "Anybody But Carson" political opinion yard signs by emailing Anybodybutcarson@aol.com bumper stickers are available also.

Shella is Carson's go to guy...I sometimes wonder if Carson has some “dirt” on Shella. The other stations in Indy won’t spread Carson’s gibberish as easily.
Jim Shella is a joke, in any other market he would fail miserably.

I am totally in opposition to USA fighting what some authority figure deems are Muslim extremists in other people's countries, but in our own, there should be no special efforts to cater to them, at all. Thanks so much for posting this video of Dr. Sultan, and I pray that no harm comes to her.
